52-room luxury villa rental

These multi-million-dollar dwellings derided as “poppy palaces” over suspicions they were built on illicit cash from Afghanistan’s opium boom appear garishly out of place in a city scarred by decades of war.

The villas, which emerged during Afghanistan’s construction boom after the 2001 US-led invasion, were valued at nearly twice as much two years ago due to soaring demand for luxury accommodation from hordes of foreign contractors, aid agencies and security companies.
